Description

Clár ICH in conjunction with Mayo County Council are organising a European conference called “Renewable Energy Solutions for Sustaining Rural Communities” on Thursday the 27th of April 2017 in Westport Town Hall, County Mayo.

European partners in the RECENT project include the International Resources and Recycling Institute (IRRI) in Scotland, Jokkmokk Municipality in Sweden, University of Oulu in Finland, and Action Renewables in Northern Ireland.

The objective of this European conference is to increase rural communities’ knowledge of renewable energy processes and to maximise potential of community owned water assets. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with the speakers in the discussion forum and informally during the conference lunch. There are two key themes that this conference will focus on, namely energy efficiency and water management.
